Quick and easy dinner ideas
Looking for quick and easy meals that don’t compromise on flavour? Try dishes like Turkish lamb pasta with garlic-infused Greek yoghurt, steak, lentil and beetroot salad, or Moroccan lamb bowls made with fast-cooking mince. Beef green curry stir fry, roast beef and horseradish rolls, and a hearty breakfast frittata are perfect for busy weeknights, while beef stir fry with black bean sauce and beef stroganoff offer satisfying, speedy options. For a casual dinner, lamb and kawakawa burgers are a great choice. We've got you covered with simple meals that are perfect for anyone looking to save time in the kitchen without sacrificing taste or nutrition.
Turkish lamb pasta
Few meals are as quick to pull together and taste this good too. Be like Anna and make up a pottle of garlic infused Greek yoghurt for your fridge. It’s a simple dip, sauce, dressing that can change an entire meal.
Steak, lentil and beetroot salad
This salad is all about simplicity and speed. Picture tender, quickly cooked steak paired with a can of lentils, a handful of fresh salad leaves (rocket is our favourite), and convenient vac-packed beetroot for a satisfying meal in under 30 minutes.
Moroccan lamb bowl
Mince is the hero of fast dinners and this wrap bowl is no exception. Cooks in ten minutes, it makes the perfect lunch or dinner and is faster than ordering delivery.
Smashed almond cutlets
This is a dinner that will get lapped up – keep it simple and serve with a fresh green salad and lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
Beef green curry stir fry
Using Sone’s sauces to shortcut your way to Thai takeaways at home, this green curry stir fry is loaded with vegetables and a sauce that brings a little heat and a lot of flavour.
Lamb tacos and slaw
We love a good taco and this lamb number is super tasty! If you’ve got the time, make the chipotle mayonnaise otherwise a good store bought option works just as well.
Roast beef and horseradish rolls
Cook a handful of extra steaks on the weekend for the easiest Monday night dinner ever. Thinly slice them and stuff them into wholegrain rolls with a punchy horseradish sauce.
Breakfast frittata
Loaded with tender mushrooms and beef mince, this frittata makes the most of the humble egg in all the best ways. Pack it up, take it for a picnic with a jar of piccalilli as well.
Beef stir fry with black bean sauce
The Chinese sauces in your supermarket are the perfect way to shortcut to maximum flavour. Beef and black bean is a classic combo and we love it with broccolini and beans for some greens as well.
Beef stroganoff
Tender beef, creamy mushroomy gravy over fettucine? What’s not to love! Just make sure you don’t over cook the beef for best results.
Lamb and kawakawa burgers
Silver Fern farms have some great options for quick dinners, especially if your family loves a good burger. These lamb and kawakawa burgers are great and all you have to add is your choice of salad ingredients.
